If I'm anemic can I still have butt implants done?

Question

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

The risk of anemia being present during implant procedures is that it may affect your body’s ability to heal and maintain bone around the butt implants. The blood work ordered before butt implant surgery will make the plastic surgeon aware of the type of anemia, how to treat it, and obtaining clearance from the physician treating you for the anemia.

Dear Downloading,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You should be healthy prior to any elective procedure. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Medical clearance from your primary care provided is necessary to proceed with surgery. Please be sure to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and is well known for their work in the medical community.

Simply stating that you have anemia it’s a bit like a driver saying my gas tank is not full.

Without numbers the word really has very little meeting.

I suggest you contact your surgeon and discuss your lab results with him or her.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
